Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Guys,
I am using Windows 10 Pro-64 bit, Core i7 4770 (8 GB RAM), Dolphin 5.0.

I also have the iPAD Pro 9.7 with the last iOS version. I downloaded this program (free and official app, from the App Store):
https://itunes.apple.com/br/app/microsof...64092?mt=8

Then I changed Windows settings to allow my iPAD to connect to my PC, which uses my name+password and the IP 192.168.8.144.

OK, I did all this to stream contents from the PC to the iPAD.

I checked here with the PSX emulator, and it's working. No lags, and I get sound.

I also tried with ZSNES (SNES emulator, but had problems with the video, always having a Direct3D error, that I couldn't fix). Tried later with the emulator BSNES, and it worked, provided I turn off the option Synchronize video.

When I log into my PC (from this iPAD app) the PC is unavailable unless I log in again, but doing that disconnects the iOS app.

I also confirmed that any Youtube video playing in my PC can be seen/heard in the iPAD.

As for Dolphin, here's the thing...

I can stream all games (the video) to my iPAD.

But there's no sound. And of course you can't hear a thing in the PC headphones, because the iPAD is being used. And after I disconnect the iPAD the PC continues to be muted. Meaning that streaming anything will automatically disable the sound and the only way to turn it on is to restart Dolphin.

I know you are probably going to say that you don't know a thing about how this app works, but...

How is it possible that only Dolphin is presenting this bug?

And I can't be sure, but I am positive that the streaming from Dolphin worked before, with full sound. Perhaps something has been broken and I can't see it?

And all games I tested have this behaviour.

I am frustrated with this, because it is the best way for me to play games, since I use the iPAD (not the PC) most of the time.

P.S. This is the graphic card I am using:

OK, I figured out just now how this bug happens:

- It doesn't happen when you try the 1st game, right after you start using it.

Then after you close the game, if you try to open it again (or a different game) there will be no sound. This is 100% confirmed to be the case.

"Ending the current session" in this app and restarting it will return the sound.

That means there is complicated to stream the sound from this emulator. And once I believe I spotted a slowdown in the video (don't know if it was because of settings. Now I changed mine to "Use fullscreen ON" in Graphics.

It's odd because I think the sound is being streamed fine, although I think one game didn't have the background music 100% correct (Resident Evil 3). Perhaps streaming these games is a little harsh for this app, and maybe (just maybe) the app needs to be improved in future updates.

I realize Dolphin needs more processing power than the rest, but it's a little frustrating that this sort of thing happens. I appreciate your input if this is due to the app's fault or something specific from my PC.

If you have an iPAD you can try the app by downloading from App-Store.

All settings I am using, don't know if they are the ideal ones:

You say you're using Dolphin 5.0, does the sound issue still happen if you use one of the 5.0-dev builds?

Where are these builds?

Oh and BTW MAME doesn't work with this app in this fashion... sadly it returns a similar error that affected ZSNES.

Scroll down a bit to where it says "Development Versions"

I confirmed this bug has been fixed in the last dev. version. I downloaded it and replaced the 5.0 I had here, and tried 3 games in the same session. All 3 worked with sound.
